Surprised we cut two tackles given the Whitworth situation. They must have confidence in the flexibility they now have with Hawkinson and Pollak.

Surprised we cut Schaffer given his impressive preseason and the fact we now have 3 LB's on IR (Joiner/ Lamur/ Porter). I suspect we might be looking for a SAM backer to replace Hawkins. 5 x LB's seems a little light.

FB: I am shocked that they cut Conner. I figured they would want a true FB, and consider moving Charles back to TE

WR: Hawkins not being placed on the IR Recall yet is a surprise. That makes me assume he will be back sooner than expected. Also surprised that Whalem made it over Hamilton

TE: Didn't think Smith would make it as the 3rd TE, but he does also have some experience at FB so that could explain why they kept him around

OL: Not really surprised that they elected to keep Pollack over Roland. It appears that Hawkinson could move back to OT now, which means they needed a backup experienced OG

DL: No surprises at all

LB: Though Schaffer should of made it. It kind of worries me that they only have 5 LB's on this roster. I Don't think this group is set in stone yet. The bengals are likely looking to add someone else here after looking at all the other cuts.

DB: Earlier I though Mays was safe, but with the situation at LB, I think thats the only reason hes still on here. If the team elects to find a new LB soon, Mays will be the odd man out IMO

Out of the 22 players that didnt make the cut the last 24 hours, heres whos practice squad elighable

The FB is a dying position in the NFL, Conner doesn't play ST's, and they will needs Charles if they are running more double TE sets. Alex Smith and Charles can play H-back, and some of our linemen can play goal-line FB too, (eg; Peko)_________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

I'm surprised Schaffer didn't make it too. He looked real good pre-season, and I think they're hoping nobody has noticed how good he has played. If the Jags have any sense they'll be all over him._________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

If they want to put Hawkins on the IR recall list, he has to be on the 53 man roster listed today.

Come Wednesday I think, they can send hawk to IRR, and fill that spot on the 53.

My guess is they'll look for a SAM backer to replace Lamur.

Both Dimanche and Rey can play SAM, they'll pick up a coverage LB and put Baby Hawk on the IR-Recall list.

I'm not surprised Cobi didn't make it. He is still very raw, and I think he gets to our PS easily._________________

Heron is the second best RB on this team. He's a great blocker, a solid reciever and a beast on ST. No way i cut him over BJGE, Peerman and Rex. He outperformed all three this preseason._________________

Don't let your love of former Buckeyes cloud your judgement. He has more yards that tywo of them, but more carries and it came against third and fourth stringers. He blocked a punt last year, was in on another, but that doesn't make him a beast on teams in my book. Solid, yes.
